The Dartmouths Beaten bya Score of 1s
to @.

The largest crowd that ever filled the
Athletic grounds was present Monday
afternoon, estimated at 1900, to witness
the great game between Dartmouth and
st. Adams. When "Ruddy" went to the
bat, he wore "large' smile. Scruton,
who occupied the box for Dartmouth,
gave the ball a twist which landed 1t in
"Ruddy's" back and he trotted to first
leaving Long to manipulate the willow.
"Ruddy" stole second and when Long
banged the ball over to Dascomb "Ruddy"
moved up. Brennan pushed" the horse
hide out into centre field, bringing 'Rud-
dy" across the plate and advancing Long
to second base. There was blood in Null
ligan's eye when he was called up to try
his hand and he responded sending the
ball into centre field sending in Long, but
he could not get any farther than first.
One ball was pitched to Barrett and
when Scruton had time to turn around,
he saw Mulligan with one hand on bag
No. 2. Then Scruton got real mad" and
before Barrett had time to collect his scat
tered senses he heard the umpire say
first bringing Mulligan home. Roche
then tried his hand and reached first, put
ting Doc on third and Downey batting
Downey let the in-feld tumble liner
bringing "Doc' and Roche home.
Wright then got his first and stole second.
After Hoyt had flied out Long batted him
self to first while Wright pulled in the
eighth run. Brennan gave out at first and
left Long on third.
The Dartmouths were evidently dazed
by the way the St. Adams "played ball"
for Aiken and Qnackenboss followed each
Larry and Downey while Keay raped
a baby" fly to Brennan. Mulligan and
Barrett now got out at first, but DOC"
sent beauty to left field, stealing second
and scored on a wild throw. Roche re-
tired the side. Chandler, the big man of
the Hanover team got first by close call
and also second when Norton hit an easy
liner and was put out. letting Chandler
get third, Dascomb raped an easy one,
letting Chandler in, but getting out him
self. Scruton then took twist by send
ing liner to Rudy" who made bad
tumble letting Scruton get second from
which he stole third. Artz motioned to
bat four times and then sat down
That inning the st. Adams were blanked
and so was Dartmouth. The fourth in
ming opened by a rafting hit by Brennan
against left field fence, getting two bags
Mulligan followed with left fielder, let
ting Brennan home. Barrett then got
a two bagger and Mulligan scored. Hoyt,
who played fine game. brought Barrett
home and stole second. Roche got his
first with Hoyt over the plate, but was
put out at second by Keay. Wright and
"Ruddy" then followed each other in get
ting out at first. Dartmouths then tried
their hand, but to no effect, not getting
past second base The ST. Adams not
to be out-done followed their example.
The next half-inning would have been a
repetition of the preceding one, but for
errors of "Ruddy," who threw wild to
Brennan and fumbled Aiken's liner, let
ting Artz score. The next inning Hoyt
scored and the side was retired. Chandler
was put out at first and Norton followed.
The cOlleRians made desperate by a
few lonely college yells from the grand
stand, worked" their opponents for four
runs and then went out. ST. Adams
went to the bat and boarded away three
more runs and blanked the other side.
In the next inning neither side scored and
the game was closed.
The enthusiasm of the St. Adams peo-
pie last evening was unbounded over the
great victory obtained by their club and
not hing but the failure of another st. AL
bans bank could have dampened theis ar
dor.
The team has thus far beaten every nine
they have met on the diamond, and is al
ready signing for more worlds to conquer
and they are contemplating Il trip to
| Ogdensburg, Kingston and Ottawa in the
Immediate future.
